Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.
German to the core
Translated german language literature that is considered by many to be "core" reading from the modern and contemporary eras - meaning 1880 onwards, making it very readable. 🇩🇪🇦🇹🇨🇭 I usually kept it to one book per author to make this a starting off point (sometimes added additional faves). Suggestions welcome!

20th-century German classics, vol. I
Incomplete list of texts largely originally written in the German language considered foundational works of the 20th century, mostly by authors or expats from Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, and their antecedents. Partially personalized, naturally. Modernist/postmodernist; stylistically varied; weighed down by history, memory, and institutions; sometimes ironic, comic, or melancholic, or all three at once; atmospheric, psychological and/or philosophical. Pre/post-catastrophic humanism.
